New Delhi: With Rhea Chakraborty in jail, Twitter finally has found the time to raise other pertinent issues plaguing the country. Got you there. Not really, but everyone is back to petty politics.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has remained stubbornly consistent throughout the coronavirus period, asking tough questions of the government, but has he received any satisfactory replies?
The Chinese have taken our land.
When exactly is GOI planning to get it back?
Or is that also going to be left to an 'Act of God'?

New day, new low for TV media on high. See for yourself.
Wondering how many of these media professionals will be put on no-fly lists for flouting the rules, ignoring the flight attendants. https://t.co/pDN7RXp0fl

Perhaps the Editor-in-Chief of the Chinese Global Times should leave India’s worries to Indians because propaganda and half truths don’t win wars.
With these drones, the PLA’s frontline soldiers can enjoy hot meals once winter reaches the plateau. Some sympathize with the nearby Indian soldiers who can only eat cold canned food and have to endure the severe cold and potential spread of COVID-19. pic.twitter.com/Rci5H8Wbmy

Delhi Jal Board Vice-Chairman and AAP leader Raghav Chadha issues a direct threat to BJP’s Ramvir Singh Bidhuri.
आदरणीय @RamvirBidhuri जी, आज चैन से सो जाइए, कल एक प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस में आपकी पार्टी की इस गरीब विरोधी मानसिकता का भांडाफोड़ करने वाला हूँ। उसके बाद शायद आपकी नींद उड़ जाए। Goodnight. https://t.co/RevNDDDU5n

CPI (M) leader Sitaram Yechury has this to say about the beating up of farmers in Haryana during a protest Thursday.
This is how the BJP treats our farmers. किसानों को लाठी और उनके पेट पर लात! अन्नदाता पर हमला, हमारे देश की रीढ़ पर हमला है। https://t.co/JsG7hUjzYl

Congress leader Sharmishtha Mukherjee gets emotional about her father, the late president Pranab Mukherjee.
Baba's Shraddho (the final kriya) is over. He was a true karmayogi. I pledge to work towards strengthening his core beliefs in democracy, pluralism, coexistence & most importantly dialogue- that innate commitment to resolving issues through consensus, not conflict! pic.twitter.com/M1pyY1mTxH

Today, on 11th September we in India mark two important milestones.

Talk about being stuck in the past, especially when there’s so much going on.
Shri JRD Tata: " I have often thought that if fate had decreed that Vallabhbhai Patel instead of Jawaharlal, would be the younger of the two, India would have followed a very different path and would be in a better economic shape than it is today".🙏@sgurumurthy @Tarunvijay pic.twitter.com/PbD6wSjHL4

President Donald Trump seems to be making desperate attempts at ‘saving himself’ rather than US, as election draws near
If Joe Biden is elected, far-left lunatics won’t just be running failed Dem Cities—they will be running the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Supreme Court. No city, town or suburb will be safe. On November 3rd, your vote will SAVE AMERICA! pic.twitter.com/N8TZagbEpr

Democratic party’s Indian- American Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris trumps Donald in his own style.
When Trump was saying young people couldn’t get coronavirus, he knew they could.
When Trump was saying it was the same as the flu, he knew it was deadlier.
When Trump was purposely downplaying the severity, he knew it passed through the air.
He knew.
